PietraSerena´s Sketchbook(Nudity)

[PietraSerena]

Starting a new thread with my first posts here at Zbrushcentral.I have been following the forums but never took my time to post here myself.
I am currently a student at the Babelsberg Film School in Berlin,Germany so I am trying to get some pogress in my sculpts with lots of critique of the unique members here at Zbrushcentral.
Originally I have been working as a traditional sculptor in marble and clay.

These scuplts done with the extensive use of the great Planar and Polish Brushes and Zspheres.Originally modelled as a sculpture for my Movie Project on Biomechanoid Forms.Now it stands for itself- The simulation of its genesis in would have been way to complex for my tiny computer.I added some new shots with the posed figure and different lighting. I was trying to achieve a believable symbiosis of natural and artificial forms-thus getting a balance between semi-soft parts and real hard surfaces.
This is Brachycera Alpha.

Here is my sculpt with the title "Blacksmith and the boy".A rather classical piece I worked on.

@Spirit dreamer. Glad you like it
@Michalis:THX!Yeah,I tend to the tradtional like you.Saw your sculpts in your sketcbook-Very nice!

Here is my sculpture "The Kiss" I did for a competition.I also included the a pic of the male figure separated.Tried to get a flowing baroque feeling and not to hassle to much with lots of detail which would be in my eyes disturbing for the lines of the figures.

Great work -and loving the matcap on the green bronze..how do you achieve such a realistic bronze effect, and is it rendered in ZB? Really nice believable lighting. Sebastien839

[SpiritDreamer]

Great job on The Kiss piece...Beautiful end result..

[PietraSerena]

@Sebastien:thank you so much.It is indeed rendered in Zbrush.The first one with BPR Renderer and the others in 3.5 with Bronze Matcap from Pixologic as a base.I modified this matcap and textured the figure to heighten this bronze effect

@SpiritDreamer:Very kind of you.ThanksAppreciate your comments!

[michalis]

Great sculpting, love it.

-and loving the matcap on the green bronze..how do you achieve such a realistic bronze effect,

Its the well known bronze matcap combined with painted texture. In zb or else. I use adopted matcaps in blender all the time (normal projection)
